Chapter 1325: Vyas Weilan (1)
Spring returns to the earth, and the port city of Vias is located in the southernmost part of the mainland, and even has a bit of a midsummer feeling.
Green farmland and colorful flowers and trees cover the entire Vyas plain, and the devastation caused by the fire of Lin Qi has long since disappeared. Wild bees and butterflies flutter in the fragrant air, chasing the sweetness of the flowers.
The roads leading to the port of Vias were punctuated by richly decorated noble chariots, which must have been surrounded by a large crowd of well-dressed knights, who raised banners of all colors, showing off their lord's house and their own style in the bright sun.
Wherever these nobles passed, the peasants who were toiling on the farmland and gentle hillsides bowed and saluted, and it took a long time for them to raise their heads.
Suddenly, the sound of war drums came, and the sound of low footsteps shook the earth, and a majestic brigade of men and horses from the north rose up. At least 20,000 dragon knights lined up in a neat procession and marched towards the city of Port Vias.
Dozens of Wyvern Knights straddled the backs of the red-legged Wyverns, bringing a strong wind over the heads of the team, attracting a tsunami-like shout from the Earth Dragon Knights: "Dragon Mountain, Dragon Mountain, Dragon Mountain!"
A fierce dragon stood on the top of a golden mountain, and the banners fluttered one after the other in the wind, and the banners flew in front of the peasants like clouds, and some of the timid peasants even fell to their knees and did not dare to raise their heads.
This is the army of the Longshan family! a terrifying, entirely composed of Earth-Walking Dragon Knights!
What a powerful army this is, they cooperated with the defenders of the Gallic Empire on the Crow Gap defense line and wiped out an orc legion in a battle! And Mr. Wanen Longshan, who is also the Longshan family, single-handedly killed more than a hundred demigods of different races!
Such a result, such a record, all the countries of the entire Western continent are looking at it. What an amazing thing it is that an earl family has actually played a lot of brilliant records that the empire has not had for hundreds of years!
There is no doubt that the Longshan family at this moment. It has become the most famous and eye-catching family in the entire Vyas Commercial Federation.
Arda sat on a cart pulled by thirty-six dragon beasts, and waved his hand with a smile: "Reward!"
A dozen enchanting maids stood on the verandahs on either side of the specially made giant cart, laughing and smiling, pulling out large sums of gold coins and throwing them at the peasants kneeling on the side of the road. The gold coins 'jingled' to the ground, and they were all brand-new, freshly baked Goddess of Fortune large gold coins, and there was a faint remnant of the divine power of the morning sun on them.
Such a bold shot. Count Longshan and his party immediately attracted everyone's attention. Including those nobles who were already in Port Vias or were still on the road, all the eyes and ears they sent out were focused on Alda.
Linzi had already entered the port of Vias from an unobtrusive road in an ordinary black-painted two-wheeled carriage. He wore an ordinary black robe. Wearing a wide-brimmed yarke, he held several copies of information that had just reached him.
Several young people who were squatting at the intersection and doing nothing saw Lin Qi's carriage and immediately jumped up, they chased Lin Qi's carriage and ran quickly, shouting loudly: "Sir." Do you need a guide, sir? Do you need a temporary servant? Do you want to know the latest news from the port of Vyas? Do you want to know what the nobles are talking about these days?"
Lin Qi snorted lightly, and Bilibili, who was driving, slowed down.
Picking up the curtains, Lin Qi snorted coldly at a young man with light yellow hair and freckles on his face outside the car window: "What have you heard? Well, forget it, I don't think you know anything." ”
For so long, Linzi has planted a lot of eyes and ears in the city of Port Vias. Many noble lords have Lin Qi's eyeliner in their mansions, and if these young people will know some news that Lin Qi doesn't know, it is really the undead talking nonsense.
The young man with light yellow hair hurriedly lowered his voice and said hurriedly: "Don't look down on people, sir, my distant cousin is the lover of Viscount Mixiu. Viscount Michau also said that he would drive away his wife and marry her. I have unique information that no one else knows. ”
With a slight cough, Lin Qi took out an ordinary Gallic gold coin and handed it out.
The young man snatched the gold coin, lowered his voice, and said in a pretended profoundness: "Do you know what the cause of this meeting of the nobles of Vyas is? It's a group of people from the East! A group of strange-looking Orientals!"
"Orientals?" Lin Qi glanced at the young man: "What kind of Oriental?"
Another gold coin was handed out. No matter where the young man got this news, two gold coins were definitely enough to buy all his news. Lin Qi could only admire the ability of these bull ghosts and snake gods on the streets. The eyes he had planted on the mansions of the nobles had not been able to detect such an inside story, but they had already learned the exact news.
After all, it is the difference between the river dragon and the earth snake, Lin Qi can only sigh from the bottom of his heart, he must work intelligence in the future!
"They're from the East, but they're not from the Eastern Continent, they're said to be from the Eastern Subcontinent, which is a very mysterious, very magical continent. They claim to be servants of the gods, but they are said to worship heretical gods!"
The light yellow-haired young man foamed at the mouth and whispered, and he looked at Lin Qi with blank eyes, hoping that there would be another cute gold coin handed out. Lin Qi pondered for a while, he glanced at the young man, and said indifferently: "Very good, your news is still a little valuable, but that's all, two gold coins are already worthy of your efforts!"
Stamped lightly, Bilibili immediately sped up the speed of the car, several young people stubbornly pulled the windows and wheels, and wanted to say a few more words to Lin Qi, but the speed of the carriage became faster and faster, and they gradually couldn't catch up with the carriage, so they could only stop helplessly, panting and scolding in a low voice.
The carriage traveled through several avenues of Vias and finally stopped in front of a long-established Seahorse Hotel on the side of the central square of Vias. Lin Qi jumped out of the carriage and asked for two rooms for himself and Bilibili with a baron passport of the Great Yan Dynasty, then took a shower and changed clothes, and comfortably chose a comfortable seat at the open-air bar in front of the hotel.
Lying lazily in the sun and sipping light wine, Lin Qi noticed that there were many more patrolmen wandering around in Vias Square, and some unknown men in civilian clothes seemed to be standing leisurely in various key positions and chatting. These men all looked well-dressed and well-mannered, but in Lin Qi's professional eyes, a true gentleman would not hide a dagger in the barrel of his boots, nor would he hide a lead rod covered with copper on his belt.
It's funny, Lin Qi smiled brightly, Alda was still walking slowly outside, attracting a lot of attention, he entered the city in advance, just to know what these greedy but timid nobles of the Vias Commercial Federation wanted to do.
An afternoon passed quickly, and several tables around Lin Qi changed several groups of guests. Several of them were the ringleaders of the eyeliner that Lin Qi had planted in Port Vias, and they kept sending all kinds of information that Lin Qi needed.
Lin Qi's request was also passed on to them, and soon the answer that Lin Qi wanted was sent back.
A few days ago, a group of mysterious Orientals landed at the port of Vyas, arriving in the middle of the night on a strange clipper. Because they didn't carry any goods and didn't buy any goods, the merchants of Vyas didn't pay much attention to them.
When the group arrived at Port Vias, they spent two days in a remote hotel, and then they hooked up with Count Herod, the Earl of Heroon, who was in charge of managing the archives of the House of Lords when Linzi purchased the title of nobility. Through the relationship of Count Herod, this group of Orientals became the guests of honor of the Marquis Zeppelin-Valland.
Then came the news that the Marquis Zeppelin, the supreme consul of the Vyas Merchant Federation, had convened a general assembly of all the nobles to try to form a standing federal army, and there was a great appetite for maintaining this standing army on a scale comparable to that of the Gallic Empire and the Great Yan Dynasty.
Lin Qi's fingers flicked the desktop gently, the sky gradually darkened, and lights were lit all around, Lin Qi frowned and looked at the stars in the sky that gradually showed their shape, and fell into deep thought. Followers of heretical gods from the Eastern Subcontinent, no doubt this is a member of the Miro Cult. But what do these Milo guys want to do?
Maintaining a standing army of thirty or fifty legions in the Vyas Merchant Federation? With the traditional atmosphere of the Vyas Merchant Federation, this army is really lackluster in combat, and will eventually become a gold-devouring freak, but it will not be able to exert any actual combat power.
Just as Lin Qi was considering the various possibilities, a tall man in a black uniform and a copper helmet similar to the style of a copper hat in the Gallic Empire suddenly sat down beside him, and then unceremoniously grabbed the wine that Lin Qi had ordered and filled himself with a large glass.
"Very good weather, huh?" The middle-aged man tried to make Lin Qi timid with his penetrating sharp gaze, which was the most effective means for the copper hats and their peers to deal with all kinds of criminals with bad intentions: "You have been sitting here for most of the day, can you sue me, are you waiting for someone here, or are you waiting for something to happen?"
Combined with the heavy batons in the hands of the two big and three thick companions behind him, this big man consciously made his own words very intimidating.
